Luz, a victim of femicide in Jalisco, was the mother of an autistic child

Luz Raquel was the mother of a small child with autism spectrum, who was also the victim of threats and aggressions by the same neighbor who announced that she would be burned alive. The minor was left without his mother, who was his main caregiver and educator, on Tuesday. The 35-year-old woman died on Tuesday after agonizing for three days after being burned alive by three subjects who sprayed her with industrial alcohol and set her on fire in the vicinity of her house, which is located in Arco Constitución between Arco Táctico and Arco Valeriana, in the city of Zapopan. Threats of femicide to Luz Raquel Luz confessed, through a video on TikTok, that her neighbor insulted her, threatened to burn her alive and called her son “Mongol” “She messed with my son verbally saying he was a Mongolian,” the grieving mother said in tears before pulling out a kitchen knife in front of the camera to indicate that she used it to defend herself and her helpless son. Everything is to defend me and my son… I had to use it.” In addition to the clips, she filed formal complaints with the competent authorities about the threats she and her son received from a neighbor whose name remains reserved and it is believed that he may have been the material or intellectual author of the femicide of which Luz was a victim. The complaints were filed on May 18 with the Public Ministry, after Luz’s neighbor arrogated industrial alcohol in his left breast and made graffiti outside his house with threats. In the midst of this circumstance, Luz Raquel asked to be integrated into the “pulse of life” program so that she could be given a panic button in the case of being attacked again, but the authorities denied it because they considered that the threats were not sufficient causes to be a beneficiary of this program. We recommend you read: So far it is known that it was three men and a woman, who perpetrated the aggression that ended with the death of Luz Raquel.
